A new K-pop anime is coming our way and it's just got all the more exciting as music legends BTS are confirmed to perform the theme song.
Bastions will follow a group of rookie superheroes in a world where superheroes compete for popularity and will be soundtracked by some of K-pop's finest, including Heize, AleXa, and Le Sserafim.
It also marks BTS's first project as a group since their album Proof, which was released last year, so it's sure to be welcome news for fans.
The five-part series, which is set to land on Crunchyroll on 13th May, sees the world turned upside down when the superheroes have to take on a villain intent on environmental destruction and uncover their identity.
